But even if we or (A)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, (B)let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, (C)let him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying (D)to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a (E)servant[a] of Christ.

Paul Called by God

11 For (F)I would have you know, brothers, that (G)the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.[b] 12 (H)For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it (I)through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of (J)my former life in Judaism, how (K)I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
